sounds like they were attempting to stop afk XP from FD necros, which is not possible on the current gameset, unless you use illegal means and doesnt look like it was a thing that came in to stay just a bandage over the problem. The only diff between now and then is that we are locked in a timelocked server, wheter its intended or not, people find new ways to do everything, because on live there was no time since new expansion coming out.

Ignoring the fact that FD without pet poof is OP and low risk for the class of course. Unlimited FD and no pet poof was apparently not a thing Kunark+

who hurt u rygar?

I find it amusing that people typically get mad when a nerf is discovered and don't want it (or try and build some case against it), yet cry to the dev team when they want a change that improves their P99 life.

Just accept that this server is ever changing and striving to be the closest recreation to classic EQ as possible. Good and bad things will happen, life will go on. Moving your cheese is not the end of the world.

Furthermore they cherry pick my posts saying I'm 'only out to bug report nerfs and make life harder on P99' yet a search of all my bug posts show I'm all over the map.

Y'all need to stop your belly aching, did server die after goblin ear / orc scalp EXP nerf? Saw a population of 2,500 the other day.

The truth is a properly balanced game is great to play, making certain goals harder to achieve makes the reward that much sweeter. Is probably why original EQ has such great appeal and an addictive quality.

My main point would be it wasn't classic, so it shouldn't be a thing on this server to have pet pulling/tagging/secondary. While the intent of why pets poofed was done is different. Having the unlimited FD timer w/ pet up shouldn't be an aspect that we use. Any minor errors like this should be fished out.

I was actually looking for pet tracking not being a thing and I ran into this instead lol. Something just ran as "unclassic" when it wasnt discovered until Velious on THIS server that pets can check a whole zone for mobs being up or not. Mostly because it never was known on live to ever happened and no one thought to check it here until 7 years into the project...is this a Emulation error or something never tested on live...who knows..

Why are ALL the suggested game edits major buzz kills?

Can't you find something that says everyone should be gifted 100k platinum or something?

Dino needs them welfare pixels.

Hit me up bbgirl, will help you out.

I believe Haynar coded in the current ability to pet track, just because at the time it was the proper message format (I believe it is a classic mechanic technically, but was later removed on live).

Not sure if they were aware of the behavior it would enable. Curious to know if they would ever disable it or declare it an illegal track method.
